How have the Earth and the ecosphere always been balance and how does solar wind change the solar cycle?
Our planet has many ecosystems because its land and ocean content is finely balanced. It is estimated that only about 1% of worlds with water on the surface would have enough but not too much of it so that continents would exist all over the globe. The Earth's ecosphere is usually defined as the sum of its ecosystems, which makes it a closed system that facilitates life everywhere on Earth. By this definition, it is considered to have several different components: the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and sometimes, the magnetosphere. An ecosphere works by creating a balance between the living organisms and the environment within the enclosed space. The plants produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, while the animals and microorganisms consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The solar wind speed decreases with distance, but the changes from solar minimum to solar maximum produce a larger effect. The latitudinal gradients of density and speed reverse over the solar cycle; at solar maximum speeds are higher near the solar equator whereas at solar minimum speeds are least near the equator. The Sun releases a constant stream of particles and magnetic fields called the solar wind. This solar wind slams worlds across the solar system with particles and radiation which can stream all the way to planetary surfaces unless thwarted by an atmosphere, magnetic field, or both. The surface field of the Sun that is produced by the combination of the solar dynamo-produced active region field emergence and the redistribution and decay of those fields provides the boundary conditions for the coronal magnetic field structure and thus the solar wind sources.
